H. G. Jones (Univ. of North Carolina at Chapel Hill), the Thomas Whitmell Davis Research Historian at Wilson Library, received the 2002 North Carolina Award for Public Service. The award annually recognizes "notable accomplishments by North Carolina citizens in the fields of scholarship, research, the fine arts, and public leadership. It is the highest honor the state can bestow."
